Enhancement - i-MSCP tools are now know as i-MSCP addon and are available on packagist.org
Today, we added composer support for i-MSCP. That allows us to keep our main repository free of any 3rd party tool such as PhpMyAdmin, AjaxPlorer and Roundcube... From now, when you will download an i-MSCP release or clone our main repository, the tools will no longer be there. Instead, the installer will fetch them automatically when needed.
That allows:
- Easy maintenance for the development team. One 3rd party tool = one repository
- Release archive more small (about of 60% of gain)
- Any admin will now be able to update tools by simply running the imscp-autoinstall or imscp-setup script without having to update its i-MSCP version.
Of course, to avoid to the installer to fetch the packages again and again, a cache has been implemented. You can force cleanup of that cache by using the --clean-addons command line option available for both the imscp-autoinstall script and the imscp-setup script. use the --help option to see all available command line options.
What next ?
In near future, the installer will ask you about what addons you want install and we will add several alternatives such as
Wemail
- AfterLogic : http://www.afterlogic.org/webmail-lite
MySQL Web administration tools
- MyWebSQL : http://mywebsql.net/
- Adminer : http://www.adminer.org
- Chive : http://www.chive-project.com
- DbNinja : http://www.dbninja.com/
- phpMyBackupPro : http://www.phpmybackuppro.net
Web Statistics tools
- Piwik : http://piwik.org
Filemanager
- eXtplorer : http://extplorer.sourceforge.net/
Of course, you will be able to install many of them at same time.
